IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ZO Skin Health, Inc. is pleased to announce that Zein E. Obagi, M.D. is the Director of the 24^th Ultimate Skin Health Symposium (www.ultimateskinsymposium.com). This three-day breakthrough skin rejuvenation program will take place at the Montage Hotel, Beverly Hills, California from November 9-11, 2012.

Designed to educate dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and skin care professionals worldwide, under Dr. Obagi's direction the symposium will be focused on skin health and the application of this science in dermatological and cosmetic surgery practice. The Ultimate Skin Health Symposium will cover the science of how to restore skin health, cellular activity and function while showing attendees how to improve the skin's ability to tolerate procedures and surgery. Attendees will also learn how to address a variety of skin conditions, including hyperpigmentation and melasma, rosacea, PIH, acne, scars and wrinkles.

In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to join a think-tank group consisting of the top experts in dermatology to determine proper protocol for their most complex cases. The symposium will include two live patient sessions (including a live patient injection workshop) where participants can interact closely with leading physicians on their innovative injection and skin rejuvenation techniques.

Featured topics:

New topical agents and delivery systems
How to determine optimal treatment for all skin types, including ethnic skin
Skin essentials, including physiology and topical treatments
Novel peel protocols to treat anti-aging, acne, photo damage
Laser and light based devices for face and off-face applications
Pearls for using dermal fillers and neurotoxins
Advancements in skin resurfacing technologies
Anti-aging and hormone balance for the skin

"We've all attended events that cover invasive and non-invasive procedures as well as fillers and lasers. But what we forget is that the fundamental organ of the skin is often inadequately addressed," says Dr. Obagi. "What we need to do is focus on the skin itself and how to improve its quality and vitality and use it as a tool to determine suitability of aesthetic procedures and how to cater these procedures to skin type and specific skin concerns."

Dr. Obagi is joined by a world-class multidisciplinary faculty including:

Dr. Andre Berger
Dr. Vivian Bucay
Dr. Jarl Bunaes
Dr. Barry DiBernardo
Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald
Wendy Lewis
Dr. Z. Paul Lorenc
Dr. Stephan Marks
Dr. Frank Muggenthaller
Dr. E. Victor Ross
Dr. Patrick Trevidic
Dr. Steven Wang
Dr. Susan Weinkle

"The symposium will dive deep into my new approach to skin care that only comes with 30 years of experience as a dermatologist. I plan to raise the bar on the Science of Skin Health and reveal the most effective methods in the treatment of skin that can easily be implemented into any practice," says Dr. Obagi.
